The Estonia national football team is controlled by the Estonian Football Association. They played their first match in 1920. In 1940 Estonia was annexed by the Soviet Union; it did not regain its independence (and the possibility of a national football team) until 1991. As a newly independent nation, they played their first match against Lithuania in the Baltic Cup on November 15, 1991, and their first FIFA-recognized match against Slovenia on June 3, 1992, a 1-1 draw at Tallinn.
